Fez: World 1-1

Posted by Brandon "BMcC" McCartin Tue, 19 Feb 2008 22:38:00 GMT


Please, enjoy some straight gameplay from the GDC build of Phil Fish and Renaud Bedard’s dimension-bending platformer Fez.

P.S. Though previously from Kokoromi, the company behind Fez is now officially known as Polytron, with a super-sexy new logo and all.

    This is utterly mind-blowing.

  2. BMcC said 28 minutes later:

    Well deal with THIS:

    Fish es un petite papillon bleu dans un chapeau!

  3. Zaphos said 31 minutes later:

    FACT: Butterflies make surprisingly good game designers.

  4. TakaM said about 1 hour later:

    Man, this game is gonna be amazing. The level design process must be very interesting, can’t wait :)

  5. Lega said about 1 hour later:

    This looks utterly spectacular. In all ways. Ever. :O

  6. Zeno said about 1 hour later:

    Hopefully the dialog gets cleaned up a bit, unless that’s part of some joke I’m not getting.

    Other than that, this game looks like pure liquid sex, and I want it bad.

  7. Zaphos said about 2 hours later:

    Somthig tells me that the excellent dialog is completely intentional.

  8. Colink said about 2 hours later:

    So awesome… Almost as sexy as sexy hiking… I feel like my brain is gonna explode.

  9. jeb said about 2 hours later:

    Wow! That’s really cool!

  10. Zetetic Elench said about 3 hours later:

    I like how the game makes it clear the stilted dialogue from mister eyepatch is a joke by making all the writing on the tutorial signposts perfectly crisp and punctuated.

    It’s very, very cute. <3

  11. I Like Cake said about 3 hours later:

    I will totally believe a new dimension.

  12. Eclipse said about 3 hours later:

    wonderful game mechanics, will be pc only?

    oh btw, it’s a cave story ripoff with a new dimension!!!!!111oneone

  13. GirlFlash said about 4 hours later:

    I want it so bad it hurts >.<

  14. haowan said about 5 hours later:

    Sublime.

  15. M2tias said about 6 hours later:

    Not that I wouldn’t love to play this but it’s not just a Cave Story ripoff with a new dimension. It’s a Cave Story and Crush (PSP) ripoff. :D Even though, doing that with pixel art graphics is unbeliveable.

  16. Lez said about 6 hours later:

    Away. Thats the direction I just got blown.

  17. WOW said about 6 hours later:

    SPOILERS!

  18. deadeye said about 6 hours later:

    Huh. Not bad.

    *self destructs*

  19. Quetzocotol said about 7 hours later:

    Judging by “press the left or right trigger” this won’t be released on PC. Which means I’m probably not going to be able to play it. GUH.

  20. Turniper said about 7 hours later:

    This game has HATS in it.

  21. Nikica said about 7 hours later:

    Gorgeus.

  22. Robert said about 7 hours later:

    :O

  23. someons said about 7 hours later:

    I feel kinda dizzy now

  24. anon said about 7 hours later:

    Super Paper Mario Rip-off my ass

  25. x said about 7 hours later:

    looking awesome, but the music is annoying as hell, I hope it was just a placeholder tune…

  26. Fishy Boy said about 8 hours later:

    So very awesome! Best level end ever.

  27. Melly said about 8 hours later:

    I love the graphics, I love the music, I love the cute senseless dialogue, and I might just love the gameplay (that part I have to try out for myself, y’see ;3)

    Fez get! Rainbows!

  28. Stefano said about 8 hours later:

    Instead of saying something clever, all I can think of after watching the video is… GET OUTTA HERE!

    Despite of my excitement, I agree to Melly about the gameplay, though. After seeing the rotating world, it’s kindda hard to me to get rid of the depth of each platform, as they tend get stuck in my head. When all the blocks get flattened in one of the views (making it ok for you to leap through humongous floor diagonal distances), I can somehow still see the how far apart they are and freak out.

    So watching the video was pretty liek this: “-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!” “-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…” “-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!” “-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…” “-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!” “-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…” And so on… :D

    Trixels are the future.

    Of having sex.

  31. PHeMoX said about 11 hours later:

    This is incredible, truly incredible!

  32. Hunty said about 12 hours later:

    yikes, wonderful concept, but I got horrible vertigo watching that video. This may have to be one of those games I respect from afar. :(

  33. Julius said about 13 hours later:

    Super Paper Mario with a Fez

    also Kokoromi sounds much better than Polytron

  34. BeamSplashX said about 13 hours later:

    And Polykokoromitron sounds AMAZING.

    Petition for another name change?

  35. Quetzocotol said about 15 hours later:

    Cave Story killer.

  36. Zetetic Elench said about 17 hours later:

    Another vote for Polykokoromitron.

  37. Tantan said about 17 hours later:

    “Another vote for Polykokoromitron.” I concur.

    and DO WANT.

  38. Shih Tzu said about 18 hours later:

    So yeah that wow

  39. Z said about 19 hours later:

    Golly, I really hope you have all played Crush… I am only excited about this because it looks to be Crush 0.5. And you can pick that up now.

  40. Dusty Spur said about 22 hours later:

    im pride.

  41. teknogames said 1 day later:

    I’m curious as to how difficult building levels is for this game

  42. Zetetic Elench said 1 day later:

    Fez is cuter than Crush.

    Therefore, my allegiance is to Fez.

    (I am easily swayed)

  43. OrR said 1 day later:

    Damn, that’s insane! :) I haven’t played Crush but it doesn’t do rotating this fast, does it?

  44. Darkmoon said 1 day later:

    The way the 2D->3D is handled looks to be like how Super Paper Mario should have been. Super Paper Mario was fun, but the flip mechanics just seemed… Meh.
